have a chick that I had to help hatch. It pipped from the wrong end. Everything went fine with the hatch. No bleeding and everything was absorbed. The problem is now that the chick seems off. I think maybe it's blind or has something else going on. It's off balance but does scamper around a...

Curious if you got through all the paper work and what all it involves to import the eggs. Cost and who to contact to do it?

I don't have a vet around me that sees ducks. I did some research and it seems to match the symptoms for hardware disease which is a problem because I don't have a vet to take it to.

can you please elaborate? I have a duck that is not acting right and just noticed she has neon green poop. I see no obvious signs of illness other than she is just laying around all day and keeps hiding. She does have a birth defect of a crooked neck. I don't know what is wrong with her or what...

Found this post while trying to do some research. I have a white leghorn hen that is covered by, I believe, an EE rooster. Out of several different attempts every single one of her eggs has developed all the way to day 20-21 and then died in the egg before even trying to hatch. Does my hen have...

Ok yesterday I had 4 welsh harlequin duck eggs in my incubator one internally piped but after 36 hours and no external pip it died in the egg. The other 3 never even made it as far as an internal pip before dying. I have 2 of the same kind of eggs under my broody duck and as of yesterday they...

I am hatching welsh harlequin ducks and one of them has had an internal pip for over 24 hours now with no external pip. It is moving around and quite a bit of it is in the aircell. Is it time to open an air hole or should I just wait and let it keep working on it?

[/IMG] 8 moved it to my incubator because the air cell is really big and I'm thinking it has lost a bit too much moisture.

Just checked the eggs in my duck's nest, that are due to hatch on Monday. One of the eggs has a big Crack across the air cell. The Crack is not all the way through to were the shell is cracked open so I guess you would call it like a hair line crack. The duck is still alive and moving in the...

I am on day 23 with my welsh harlequin duck eggs and the air cell doesn't look as big as it should be. My humidity has been in the 60s because I read duck egg incubate at higher humidity but now I'm thinking I've had it too high since I candled and the air cell doesn't look big enough. Will it...

I just hatched an svart hona chick and the middle toe on each foot has a pink tip. Does this mean it is not pure or will it darken up as it gets older? I will be very upset if the seller shipped me eggs that were not pure since I paid a LOT of money for these eggs.

Ok thanks, I'll just keep them with the chicks then. I felt so bad for her. She has been sitting on her nest for like 2 months now. For some reason her eggs never would grow any life so I finally had to toss them and she got very upset so I gave her some dummy eggs and she sat them. I found...

I have 2 ducklings and a gosling and am wondering if I can put them with my nesting duck? Will she accept them? Will she stop sitting her eggs if I put them with her?

No I don't want to break it out just wondering how much air supply they have with an internal pip and how long they have before the air supply runs out if they have not externally piped yet.

I am on day 22 and 7 eggs in the bator. 4 of them have internal pips that happened hours ago and the rest are not doing anything. How long can they have an internal pip before running out of air? Should I open a small hole and if so when?

[/IMG][/IMG] This is my incubator my husband and I made. It is working great with my chicken eggs but so far when I candle the duck eggs nothing has been growing in them and I know they are fertile. I have a fan in that pulls in fresh air as well. How many days do you wait to candle your eggs?

I think she is a black blue? Swedish. I do have an incubator but sadly have had no luck getting them to develope in the incubator so I decided to let her do it.

My duck has been laying eggs regularly and until now I have been collecting them. I have decided to see if she will hatch some. She has laid 7 eggs over the last 7 days and has them all neatly arranged. When will she start sitting on them to hatch?

I'm at the end of day 23 with my silkie eggs and two Of them have not piped yet and I can't see movement. I did see movement yesterday at candling but couldn't see any today. How much longer do I give them to be certain they are lost?
